The Essence for 28 June 2011: Who’s Raining on Your Parade?

Moon in Gemini, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Bridgman 1902

Just before 8 PM PDT the Moon trines Saturn, and effectively creates a Grand Trine with Pallas in Aquarius. This offers a tremendously effective stabilizing influence, calming the mind and bringing the emotions ‘down to earth.’ This lasts through the evening, Pacific time, though around 11:30 PM PDT the Moon’s movement brings h.Zeus into the mix, and calls forward desires and ambitions–and either makes us feel they are truly within reach, or squashes them, and others (Saturn and h.Zeus in Libra) come forward to tell us how they just won’t fly. Take note of who’s raining on your parade, and then nurture that desire–your chances of fulfillment are as good as they ever were, but now you’re a little more solidly hooked to reality, making the path to realization that much easier to see.

The Essence for 27 June 2011: Effervescent

My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Searle 1859 {{PD-Art}}

7:30 AM PDT the Moon sextiles Mercury and Venus sits at the midpoint. It’s an interesting shuffle, with each body in one of the other body’s signs: the Moon in Venus’ Taurus, Venus in Merc’s Gemini, and Mercury in the Moon’s Cancer. The effect may be a massive sympathy, a melding among the energies that could confuse them (where we believe we’re thinking, for instance, when we’re really feeling, or where we’re intuiting when we believe we’re just reasoning) or that could make for some exceptional mental and emotional relating, creating, and contemplating. Interaction with others at this time will be light, exchanges will be effervescent, mental activity will sharp and perceptive, and the feeling and intuitive capacity will be fully open (barring transits to the natal chart that prevent this). Enjoy!

The Essence for 26 June 2011: Sexy and Dangerous-Feeling

Lunar Trends, Moon in Taurus, My Daily Astrology Diary, My Weekend Astro Diary, The Astro Essence

Remember when smoking was considered sexy and implied the woman was a sophisticate, and probably trouble? This painting could've changed that idea single-handedly. By Kirchner 1930 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 2 AM PDT of the 26th the Moon trines Pluto in Earth. Mmmm, it’s easy to get to the bottom of things, to reach the depths, to enjoy passion and darker shades of our natural inclinations–they’re sexy and dangerous-feeling, even when they’re not!–and we can enjoy ourselves if we can embrace the entire range of Beingness uncritically. If you want, this is the time to change those material circumstances about which you’re unhappy emotionally, and it’s also a time to enjoy purely physical delights (food, surroundings, bodies, the elements). Remember, Lunar aspects encompass a 3-4 hour period, either side of exact.

The Essence for 25 June 2011: Revolutionary in Attitude

Moon in Aries, Moon in Taurus, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Be careful what you overthrow; you never know with what it might be replaced 'The Belgian Revolution' Wappers 1830 {{PD-Art}}

Uranus squares the Sun/ Earth axis right now, Jupiter trines Earth in Earth, and Mars quincunxes it. We may feel ambushed, in the largest picture sense, and feel a real desire to DO SOMETHING to right the material and asset scenario we see before us. There’s a little of the revolutionary in our attitude–but that’s no guarantee that what will replace the current situation will be an improvement. Consider that wanting more, or wanting to change society as a whole (the two biggest impulses associated with this) are both a little grandiose, in the sense that there are reasons we’re where we are and society’s where it is. Instead of railing madly (always tempting) we’d do better to improve on our own part in things, to offer our best, and to soothe our own little corner of the world.

Relax, and try to channel the Aries Moon Void energy in a constructive but minor direction (which may incline us to poke at things randomly, like a Warrior without energy or cause) until 1:53 PM PDT when the Moon enters Taurus. As usual nowadays, it starts with an aspect to Neptune, a sextile, making us just a little deluded about the material situation and possibly about our own assets. It’s easy to think something, a talent or a thing, belongs to us when it really doesn’t. Vet all claims against previous experience before shouting from the rooftops, “Look what I can do!”

The Essence for 24 June 2011: The Uses of the Warrior Spirit

Moon in Aries, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

We may don our most natty fighting gear with the Moon in Aries. Wahlen 1843 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 5:30 AM PDT the Moon sextiles Pallas; this may feel like we’re suiting up for a fight, but in a good way :)

8 AM Pacific the Aries Moon squares Mercury–now we know what we were putting on armor for! Expect a quarrel (or even a p*ssing contest) over who cares more, who gives more, who sacrifices more–and this should let us know exactly who sees guilt as a handy tool.

4 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Vesta, grounding our emotions in our highest values and in our home life and committed, intimate relationships–should be a nice feeling that allows us to put down the Aries Warrior garb for a few minutes and get our emotions on straight (to mangle a certain saying!)

The Essence for 23 June 2011: Pluto as Distraction

My Daily Astrology Diary, Pluto, The Astro Essence, Uranus opposition Saturn

Don't be distracted by Plutonian elements. By Bouguereau 1894 {{PD-Art}}

1:30 PM PDT the Moon squares Pluto, and this may bring forward some concern about the much-ballyhooed Cardinal Cross. Over the next 10 days the transiting Sun will fill in with Uranus, Pluto, and Saturn, and bring a lot of attention to this dynamic; but in reality, there is an ongoing, loose Cardinal T-square, not a cross, and this suggests that some may be sacrificing attention that should go to the T to a ‘problem’ that doesn’t really exist. The Moon hitting Pluto and aspecting the other components will perk up the emotions, then the Sun’s path will illuminate the T. We need to focus on the T and particularly on the interaction of matters represented by the trio of Houses in the natal chart affected. A T typically creates a dilemma wherein the arm of the configuration (in this case, Pluto) pulls attention away from the resolution of the opposition. So, Plutonian matters, or matters of the House where this is transiting, can act as a significant distraction from the uniqueness v. conformity, rebellion v. tradition, innovation v. the rules, and the myriad personal ways this can manifest. Uranus v. Saturn is the real issue. Don’t forget this, when Pluto pulls you under.

Moon in Pisces, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

No, confrontations won't be this harsh--just remember everyone likes a little power. 'Queen Tomyris receiving the head of the King of Persia' by Preti c1670 {{PD-Art}}

Just after 5 AM PDT the Moon opposes Juno; we see the real power situation (especially as it relates to those desperate to retain status or advantage) and we know how we feel about it. The Pisces Moon may incline us to see ourselves as One with the power-needy, or as victims of them–but neither take is exactly right; instead observe that everyone has a need for power in some form, it just so happens that some people’s need is more obvious, or more likely to be judged by others (and that may lead us to a certain humility, as in, who are we to judge?)

The Essence for 21 June 2011: Emotional Secrets

Moon in Pisces, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Almeida Junior 1899 {{PD-Art}}

A 1:30 AM PDT sextile of the Moon to Pluto says that, asleep or awake, we’ll delve deep with ease. A special side effect may be that emotional secrets are just not safe (under the ease of a sextile–just a little inquiry will reveal all!) Whether we dream it, hear it, ask for it, see it, we’ll know the heart of someone, specifically in terms of what she or he may have hoped to keep quiet. Be gentle with any revelations you may be privy to, especially those of your own deepest feeling.

9:30 AM Pacific there’s a Lunar trine to Mercury in Cancer. We speak, and communicate in all forms, with great emotion. For some who are natally or by transit under the thumb of Saturn, this will be a relief, and allow a significant outpouring of feeling; for those who are overly emotive to begin with, this could be a disaster, causing the dramatic floodgates to open, washing away any semblance of credibility you once had. Take a restrained tack, and you’ll avoid disaster while still getting plenty of emotion across; this can be facillitated by the Moon’s simultaneous quincunx to Saturn, which will offer clear boundaries and good judgment, if only we’re willing to adjust our own behavior to take advantage.

The Essence for 20 June 2011: Flights of Fancy

Moon in Pisces, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

The Marriage of Oberon and Titania--A Flight of Fancy by JA Fitzgerald pre-1907 {{PD-art}}

Void begins at 1:23 PM Pacific, with the Moon entering Pisces at 1:45 PM PDT. Of course, we start off with a conjunction to Neptune, obscuring our feelings and inspiring . . . what? Flights of fancy, dreams, artistic or humanitarian visions, and we may be prompted to reach for our ideals. Pay attention to what comes to you at this time–it can represent where your creative energies are really going–and if you find yourself fantasizing negatively (about someone else’s husband, for instance!) then you need to do a serious reality check, as well as re-directing your personal intentions and energies. Otherwise, it will be a time of solid inspiration and can give a glimpse of the personal ‘payoff’ coming down the road.

Moon in Aquarius, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Don't tie yourself in knots trying to be perfect Degas 1900 {{PD-Art}}

7 AM PDT and the Moon conjuncts Pallas in Aquarius. We see through the emotions and intuition just what is the wise thing–these are able to guide us at this time. Around 1 PM PDT the Moon moves through territory that is midway between Pallas and Vesta; this may be an excellent ‘decision point,’ or it may have another effect: we could feel emotionally pressured to live up to the highest ideals–and the situation we’re in may not really call for that. Be sure to measure carefully the need to perfection, and don’t impose it where it really doesn’t fit.
